Skalatest. The high-security platform for massive online assessments and certification exams.
Engineered by BeezNest, Chamilo LMS publisher, Skalatest empowers governments, universities, large enterprises, and NGOs to run high-stakes exams for thousands of simultaneous candidates with strict validation workflows and end-to-end security.
THE HIGH-STAKES ASSESSMENT CHALLENGE
The complex world of massive online examinations
For government ministries, universities, certification bodies, large corporations, and NGOs, organizing paper-based exams or using a standard LMS raises three critical risks:
Question leak risks
The risk that exam questions leak outside the confidential workflow between subject-matter authoring, academic review, and final exam delivery.
Paper logistics & environmental cost
Secure printing, physical transport across dozens of test centers, and room supervision generate heavy financial and ecological costs.
Slow grading & optical reader limits
Even with optical mark recognition (OMR) scanners, digitizing and verifying paper answer sheets remains expensive, slow, and error-prone.
THE SKALATEST SOLUTION
4 technological pillars for uncompromising exams
Dynamic scaling
Assess thousands of candidates simultaneously without slowdown thanks to an elastic architecture engineered for massive login peaks.
Pervasive security
Verify candidate identity through multi-factor authentication, session locking, and strict access controls.
Massive question banks
Manage tens of thousands of items categorized by difficulty, topic, language, and taxonomy through a streamlined interface.
Compartmentalized validation workflow
Ensure no single contributor can view the entire exam bank: strict separation between item authors, reviewers, and exam boards.

Paper exams organisation generates many issues:
- Possibility for questions to be stolen, breaking the security chain of your question bank building process and generating a black market for exam questions.
- Paper printing and transportation costs (mostly ecological in most cases).
- Exams answers correction: Optical readers are great but they still leave room for human hacking and generate additional complexity for examinees, making it error-prone to match answers and checkboxes.
